[Verse 1]
 
   G5              G5    
We all came out to Montreux
       G5     F5   G5    
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
G5                     G5    
To make records with a mobile
G5        F5        G5    
We didn't have much time
G5                  G5    
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
     G5          F5    G5    
Were at the best place around
G5                     G5    
But some stupid with a flare gun
G5               F5     G5    
Burned the place to the ground
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C5           Ab5     G5                 G5    
Smoke on the water,     fire in the sky
C5           Ab5    
Smoke on the water...
 
 
[Riff]

[Verse 2]
 
     G5              G5    
They burned down the gambling house
   G5           F5    G5    
It died with an awful sound
G5               G5    
Funky Claude was running in and out
G5           F5  
Pulling kids out the ground
G5              G5    
When it all was over
   G5          F5      G5    
We had to find another place
G5                 G5    
But Swiss time was running out
   G5                   F5       G5    
It seemed that we would lose the race
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C5           Ab5     G5                 G5    
Smoke on the water,     fire in the sky
C5           Ab5    
Smoke on the water...

[Verse 3]
 
G5                 G5    
We ended up at the Grand Hotel
G5     F5    G5    
It was empty cold and bare
G5                         G5    
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
G5         F5    G5    
Making our music there
       G5                   G5    
With a few red lights and a few old beds
G5        F5       G5    
We make a place to sweat
G5                G5    
No matter what we get out of this
G5      F5           G5    
I know, I know we'll never forget
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C5           Ab5     G5                 G5    
Smoke on the water,     fire in the sky
C5           Ab5    
Smoke on the water...
